Holt, Lisa & Harlan Reano – Open Bowl with Cloud Designs (2005)
$ 1,500.00
This is a classic open bowl by Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano. They make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the pottery, and it is painted by Harlan. This open bowl has stylized clouds in the center. On the exterior are traditional Santo Domingo Pueblo geometric shapes. Note how they are each outlined in red. The materials are all traditional as the red and cream are both native clays while the black is wild spinach (a plant). The bowl was traditionally fired outdoors. It is signed on the bottom, “Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano”. Interestingly, I judged their pottery the first year they entered at Santa Fe Indian Market and it has been exciting to watch them evolve in shapes and designs over the years. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.

Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano
Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the vessels, and Harlan paints them. Lisa learned to make pottery from her mother, Inez Ortiz, and she is also a niece of Virgil Ortiz, Janice Ortiz, and a granddaughter of Seferina Ortiz. The materials are all traditional as the red and cream are both native clays while the black is wild spinach (a plant). Traditional forms and designs have become modernistic interpretations of cultural imagery. Lisa and Harlan have won numerous major "Best of Pottery" awards for their pottery at the Heard Indian Fair, Autry Museum Indian Fair, and Santa Fe Indian Market. They are also featured in books such as "Talking with the Clay," and their work can be found in museums nationwide. They are definitely among the leading younger potters working today!
